How about standardizing the position?
Wouldn't belatedly making a "standard" of something that's been around
so long also create a lot of hassle for font designers, etc? All of a
sudden, fonts that have been perfectly conformant for decades suddenly
are non-conformant, and people have to come out with new versions. Or
what is FAR more likely, nobody cares and nobody notices and everyone
leaves the fonts alone, in which case what has been accomplished? We'd
have successfully declared some set of fonts "non-conformant", but on
the plus side... um. On the plus side, what?
